Early Game Access* for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is only a few days away! Starting December 13, 2011, The Old Republic will begin emailing invitations to start your Early Game Access. Invitations will be sent throughout the Early Game Access period offering rolling access to the game in the order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code, so be sure to check your email inbox!

To ensure that players can get into the game as quickly as possible when their Early Game Access begins, we are now allowing everyone who has redeemed a Pre-Order Code at our Code Redemption Center (http://www.swtor.com/preorder/code) to pre-load the game to their computer.

In order to download the game client before Early Game Access begins, you need have already logged into your account and redeemed your Pre-Order Code. Once you have done this, you can download the game client by clicking on “My Account (http://www.swtor.com/user/account)” in the upper-right of the window and then click “Pre-Order.” On your Pre-Order page, click the large button that says “Download Game Client” to begin download of the game!
If you participated in our recent Beta Testing Weekend between November 25th and 28th and still have the game client installed, you will be able to patch this client instead of re-installing by simply launching your client, logging in and allowing the download to complete. If you did not participate in the November 25th – 28th Beta Weekend, first uninstall the Game Testing Client and then re-install to ensure your game client will function correctly during Early Game Access.

*Customers who redeem their Pre-Order Code at the Code Redemption Center (http://www.swtor.com/preorder/code) prior to launch will be able to pre-load the Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Client before the official Game launch.

It has a digital signature of Dec 6th. For those who didn't get the latest beta client you can pre-load the game now from the above link to start the official launcher and if you haven't already done so will take you through the 5 security questions you need to set up before launching the game.

I think I read somewhere that if you were in the weekend beta stress test that you don't need to re-download the client. Any beta test prior to that you needed to delete the client to re-download. Correct?

Correct. According to the FAQ if you have the client from Nov 25 you do not need to uninstall even if you got the email directing you to do so. For the rest of us unlucky sods who didn't get into Beta you can get the huge download out of the way now at least.

I kept my beta client and it was a very small patch for me, I was done with it in less than a minute, then it just updates at the bottom saying "you do not have a subscription for this account"... once you get that message on the launcher you are golden!

I'm curious about something: I'm probably going to pre-order this Friday. If I eventually get the Collector's Edition, will I have to wait for the actual CE to arrive to get a code that unlocks all of the exclusive digital items, or will that also some with the pre-order code I'll get in the e-mail?

As for I as I've been able to tell is you have to wait. I have a preordered Limited Collector's Edition (The $150 one) and I only have access to a crystal and early access on my acct.

I whispered a few sweet nothings, but I haven't resorted to force just yet.
